What a memory looks like
A memory has a type, a short name, and a one-sentence body written in the third person.
The name describes what the memory covers, not the fact itself: “Role and team”, not “User is
an enterprise SDR”. That is what lets a later change update the memory in place instead of
creating a duplicate beside it.
How memories get saved
Automatically
After each turn, a background extractor reads the exchange and decides whether it revealed anything worth keeping. Most turns yield nothing; that is the expected outcome. A fact is saved only if all three hold:- It will still be true and useful next week, in a conversation about something else.
- It is about you or your standing world, not about what you happen to be doing right now.
- It is not already known from your profile, the platform, or the current conversation.
- Task requests. “Source ten SDR managers in San Francisco” is a job to do now, not a fact about you, however detailed it is.
- Rules inferred from one incident. One failed tool call or one odd result is not a standing preference.
- Transient state. An expired connection, a schedule that came back a certain way, something you are about to do.
- Platform knowledge. What an integration can or cannot do goes stale and is not about you.
- Anything already on your profile or visible in the conversation.
Explicitly
Say it. “Remember that I only call the West Coast after 11am” saves a feedback memory immediately. “From now on…” and “always…” work the same way. You can also ask the companion to update a memory that is now wrong, to forget one, or to tell you what it remembers.In the Memory tab
Open the companion and switch to Memory. Memories are grouped by type, and each one shows whether you saved it or the companion inferred it. You can add a memory with the form, edit any memory’s type, name, or body, and delete any memory.How memories are used
At the start of every conversation, your memories are placed in the companion’s context under “About you”, and the companion treats them as things it already knows. When you have many memories, the ones not pre-loaded are still reachable: the companion searches memory when a question touches something it does not have in front of it.Turning memory off
The Memory tab has a switch. When memory is off:- Nothing new is saved, automatically or explicitly. The companion’s memory tools are removed from its toolset entirely.
- Existing memories are not shown to the companion and the tab reads “Memory is off”.
- Your memories are kept, not deleted, so turning it back on restores them.
Limits and housekeeping
When the cap is reached, the least valuable memory is retired to make room. Value is weighted
mostly by importance, with explicit saves and standing rules ranked above one-off projects, and
then by how recently and how often a memory has been used. A retired memory is archived rather
than deleted immediately, and is recoverable for 90 days; saving a memory with the same name
during that window brings it back.
